Went for a little walk with my Bird Dog on Friday; here are a few pics for you to enjoy. These were taken in the east side of the Olympic Mountains, in Washington state. Sorry, no one's survival was at stake but I hope you enjoy.

Here's a section of trail:



Rhodies (our state flower) were everywhere, my two best pics of them:





Some trail-side greenery:





Some other flowers:







Here's the Bird Dog:



This a great knife!

Very nice!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

That's some beautiful area for hiking. There's so much wood to chop!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Very nice looking area, thanks for sharing.

Interesting trail. I think the Pacific NW is the prettiest area I have ever seen, but I've only seen it in pictures. Did make it to San Francisco in '67. My parents were from Tennessee, which is a beautiful State, but they were most impressed with Washington when my Dad was at Whidby? Island in the Navy. Thanks for the pictures.

choppin?
*cries from not having a chopper*
oh wait!

I'd have to agree, HD, I've been all over but I still love it here at home. I just got this whole "camera thing" figured out and I hope to share more views of the area.

Here's something odd about where I live: I'm less than 100 miles from a temperate rain-forest, but we only get about 11" of rain per year. Rain shadow, baby, gotta love it. But only in my town, the native translation of which is "blue hole in the sky." The rest of western Washington only gets rain, rain, and more rain. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

SF in '67, eh? But you were probably in the service and didn't have much fun. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Whidbey NAS is one of many D of D installations here in Washington. Don't let our latte-sipping, tree-hugging reputation fool you; we do our part. Ask Ressam.

but as of August 18th, I'll be grabbing my Busse ASH-1 CG <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I say what just happen?

*Calls an airstrike and pulls an ARCLIGHT Mission*

Airstrike? Ah crap, we're done for now.

Nice pictures Johnson! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I love my Bird Dog too.

I find I use it daily for everything like cutting sandwiches to picking bugs out of corners. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I wash mine many times a day! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for sharing!

Peace.
